I’m on my second Ironman. First one was over 1700 total finished MM2 and DS2 before I deironed.
Making my new one I seen my kingdom and supporting it as first real prioritiy. My first iron I made bstaffs to keep it running (before slayer) and if you want it smoother you need 83 hunter for glories (with early/mid stats) for making comics and air/earth orbs.
Now my second iron I’m trying something different. I’m using thieving ardy knights (100gp each action with rogue outfit) to pay for my kingdom weekly. Takes about the same time to get the GP for weekly kingdom, building to a way to get dstones (rogues chests) for glories and you get to skip the god forsaken RC skill.
I also enjoy superglass make over the xp from battlestaffs so for me there is really no set back, I enjoy ardy knights.
I really like the change bec I despise the RC skill. Thought I’d share some early/mid Ironman experience from someone who’s done it a different way.
Ps: getting hosidus favor is extremely fast now so you can do fruit stalls pretty much right away for juicy thieving xp.
